Replacement:KIT-12713. This kit has been upgraded to include the Chiclet board from Aniomagic, go check it out! This page is for reference only.

Sparkle is Aniomagic’s avant-garde way to make interactive textiles, paper, ceramics, and environments. They’ve made it so easy to implement that anyone can create interactive works of art. Program it directly from a web browser by holding it in front of a computer screen or phone. Connect it with conductive thread, conductive paint, or regular wire. The only limit is your imagination.

The sound kit will help you take your designs to the next level by sensing sounds (like music) and reacting to them. Because sensors need to communicate with Sparkle, you will have to use Sparkle lightboards instead of plain LEDs or sequins. The kit also includes a large coin cell battery holder and two coin cell batteries to power up your creation.
